Michael E. Pichichero, MD is a clinical professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Rochester Medical Center. He is the author of a number of scientific studies regarding the safety of thimerosal as a preservative in vaccines.

Biography

Pichichero received his undergraduate degree from Rutgers University, and his medical degree from the University of Rochester.

Scientific Work

Pichichero's research has concluded that after children receive a vaccine with thimerosal in it, their blood mercury levels return to normal within only a month.

Pichichero has written a textbook about streptococcal pharyngitis. A board-certified immunologist, he, along with other scientists at the University of Rochester, helped invent the Hib vaccine. His more recent research, however, has focused on otitis media, as well as a syndrome his lab discovered and termed, "PNIP (Prolonged Neonatal Immune Profile)".
